Communications - Journalism, Journalism Professions, grade: 16/20,
- (Mohammed V University, Rabat.), course: Discourse Analysis End
of Studies Seminar., language: English, abstract: The present study
endeavours to investigate the effects of journalistic discourse on
the perception of reality. More precisely, it attempts to
demonstrate how different ways to 'report' the same events may lead
to different constructions of social reality. The major aim of this
research is to depict the strategies used by AlJazeera and NileTV
during their coverage of the events of the Egyptian revolution of
the 25th January 2011, the ideological purposes behind the use of
these strategies and how they end up constructing different
versions of reality. In this regard, Critical Discourse Analysis is
used as a method of analysis, to uncover the ways social realities
are constructed discursively via the news media. This research
paper is organized as follows: the first chapter presents the major
concepts related to the functionalist view of discourse, as well as
all the key concepts related to journalistic discourse, namely,
capitalism, power, ideology, hegemony, journalism, objectivity,
discursive practices, propaganda, audience and headlines. The
second chapter presents the research methodology, which involves
the purpose, the rationale, the research questions and hypotheses,
as well as the pilot study and the methods of data collection and
analysis. Finally the third chapter presents the analysis of
fourteen headlines from both the English and Arabic versions of the
websites of AlJazeera and NileTV on their coverage of the Egyptian
revolution (25th of January 2011)
